Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Syringe-and-manometer device that inflates and deflates angioplasty balloons to a precise, monitored pressure and holds the inflation hands-free. Typical procedural contexts include every balloon angioplasty and balloon-expandable stent deployment.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
The inflation device controls balloon pressure with a threaded syringe and manometer; it is the pressure-generating accessory, not the treatment balloon itself.
